Chicory Gardenia Herbal Tea Bag 30 Pack Sugar Free Wellness Tea

Chicory Gardenia Herbal Tea, known in TCM as Ju Ju Zhi Zi Cha (菊苣栀子茶), is a prepackaged bagged herbal tea blend. It combines ten traditional botanicals including hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida), barley (Hordeum vulgare), tangerine peel (Citrus reticulata), coix seed (Coix lacryma-jobi), mulberry leaf (Morus alba), poria (Poria cocos), chicory (Cichorium intybus), gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides), lily bulb (Lilium brownii), and chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium). In TCM theory, gardenia is considered bitter and cold, traditionally associated with clearing heat, while chicory is traditionally linked to dampness support. This sugar-free blend is intended for hot infusion as a daily wellness tea.

Traditional Uses

In traditional Chinese herbal practice, gardenia fruit is traditionally associated with clearing heat and calming irritability, while chicory root has been used in folk herbalism to support the body's natural dampness balance. Hawthorn and tangerine peel are traditionally paired to aid digestion, and chrysanthemum with mulberry leaf is a classic combination for eye and head comfort. Coix seed and poria are traditionally linked to dampness drainage, and lily bulb to moistening and calming. This blend follows the common modern practice of combining such herbs into a convenient daily bagged tea.
